One art critic wrote of Frank Currier, known for his progressive if controversial painting style: “His influence … can hardly be overrated.” Currier spent a few years in the artists’ colony of Polling outside Munich. In this landscape, Currier’s dashing brushwork creates swirls of color, while he leaves parts of the surface unfinished. For the many American painters who gathered at Polling, Currier’s bold approach rivaled the extraordinary and shocking advances of contemporary Impressionists working in France.
